President Donald Trump’s glamorous former aide Hope Hicks was back in the MAGA orbit in Miami this past weekend. 

During the Florida city’s Race Week event, the ex-White House communications director, who played a significant role in the president’s 2016 campaign and through most of his first term, was seen socializing with friends Ivanka Trump and her husband Jared Kushner.

At one point, Hicks, aged 36, was photographed in a light blue dress with a white tassle skirt, standing next to Ivanka Trump, 43, who was elegantly dressed in a gold outfit, as they celebrated the Formula 1 Grand Prix.

Ivanka, who posted the image to her Instagram, wrote: ‘Welcome to Miami.’

In other pictures, Hicks donned a bright red button-down dress and sneakers, and appeared with Ivanka and Kushner beside a race car.

Hicks, Ivanka, and Kushner had previously worked closely together in the initial Trump administration as key advisors to the president. However, similar to Ivanka and Kushner, Hicks did not join Trump for his second term in D.C.

Indeed, ever since the ignominious end to the first administration, Hicks has kept an exceedingly low-profile.

‘She’s a very private person,’ said one former colleague.

She has rarely been seen in public with any members of the Trump family since her White House exit, though she did emerge in May last year, to testify in Trump’s New York hush money trial.

So what has she been doing for the last four years? 

A source close to Hicks exclusively reveals that she has been getting her love life in order. 

In 2019, Hicks began dating Goldman Sachs banker Jim Donovan. Last year, they became engaged during a romantic hike in Italy.

However, our insider says that Hicks has recently been enjoying the single life in New York City, where she works in communications.

Hicks had originally been Ivanka’s aide at the Trump Organization before the now-president snapped her up to be his 2016 campaign press secretary. 

She was 26 and a former model, but received compliments from the press for handling the transition from fashion into politics well. 

After Trump’s shock 2016 win, Hicks entered the White House as the director of strategic communications, with the former Republican National Committee spokesperson, Sean Spicer, taking the more prominent role of Trump’s first White House press secretary. 

In August 2017, she was elevated to interim White House communications director. 

Less than a month later the 28-year-old got the job full-time, making her the youngest person to ever hold the role.

During her tenure as communications director, Hicks started dating Rob Porter, the White House staff secretary, who is 11 years her senior.

But he resigned in scandal after the Daily Mail published abuse allegations leveled at him by his two ex-wives in February 2018. He denied the claims.

Hicks and Porter reportedly split days after the scandal blew up, but they were then spotted in public together months later.

Hicks resigned from her White House job in late March 2018, after testifying before the House Intelligence Committee in February that year as part of the broader probe in potential Russian election interference.

She went on to work for Fox Corporation, as their chief of communications on a salary of over $1.8 million, but got pulled back into Trumpworld in February 2020, as a White House aide to Kushner. 

After Trump then lost the 2020 election in the November, Hicks pushed the president not to spread the so-called ‘big lie’ – the false claim that widespread voter fraud cost him a second term. 

In texts later unearthed by the House select committee investigating the January 6 riots, Hicks was seen bemoaning the future employment prospects of Trump officials after the violent assault on the U.S. Capitol Building. 

‘In one day he ended every future opportunity that doesn’t include speaking engagements at the local Proud Boys chapter,’ Hicks had written to Julie Radford, Ivanka’s chief of staff, in an apparent reference to the neo-fascist militant organization.

Still, Hicks stayed somewhat politically engaged, working for Dave McCormick on his unsuccessful 2022 Pennsylvania Senate bid. 

When Trump announced his 2024 presidential bid – in November 2022, a week after the midterms – Hicks didn’t join the team.

But she remained a political ally, writing an op-ed for The New York Post the day before the 2024 election, predicting that he would win once again.
